Strapping With The Stars
Michael Greenfield and Ushy Schwartz sit down with Yossi Farro, a social media powerhouse and Jewish activist who is on a mission to inspire Jews worldwide—one tefillin wrap at a time. From Miami to LA, Yossi has made it his life’s work to track down celebrities, entrepreneurs, and influencers, bringing them closer to their heritage in the most unexpected ways. In this electrifying conversation, Yossi reveals the hustle, strategy, and boldness behind his viral success, how he’s built relationships with some of the world’s most influential figures, and why his approach has sparked both admiration and controversy. From Jake Paul and Adin Ross to Wall Street billionaires, Yossi shares behind-the-scenes stories of how a simple act of faith is making waves across industries. But this episode isn’t just about tefillin—it’s about breaking boundaries, making connections, and reigniting Jewish identity on a global scale. Yossi doesn’t shy away from addressing criticism about his methods and explains why he believes public, mass-scale mitzvahs matter now more than ever. How did a chance encounter at a shawarma joint lead to one of the biggest influencers putting on tefillin? What happened when a random guy in New York saw a viral photo and decided to change his life? And could Yossi be about to break a Guinness World Record for the most people putting on tefillin in a single day? Tune in for a high-energy, eye-opening conversation that will challenge what you think you know about outreach, influence, and how far passion can take you. Sometimes, all it takes is 60 seconds to change a life. 00:00 A Generous Birthday Gift 00:16 The Power of Tefillin 00:55 Celebrity Connections 01:14 A Day in the Life 02:38 Jake Paul's Tefillin Journey 06:02 Breaking Records 07:25 Debating the Impact 08:56 The Influence of Public Tefillin 22:31 The Story of the Subscription Box Entrepreneur 26:27 Meeting Aiden Ross 32:19 Meeting BLP Kosher: A New Friendship 33:20 The Influence of Aiden Ross and Jake Paul 33:47 The Controversy Around Jake Paul's Jewish Identity 34:30 The Importance of Tefillin and Jewish Identity 37:18 Celebrity Encounters: Lil Dicky and Others 40:04 Building a Social Media Presence 43:50 Monetizing the Mission 46:17 Unexpected Discoveries and Networking 48:25 Reflecting on the Journey and Future Goals 01:02:31 Closing Thoughts and Future Plans @farroyossi@jakepaul @AdinRoss @michael.unplugged This episode is proudly sponsored by Serenity Center.
